Charvin has a long tradition of producing fine artists colours using the highest quality ingredients and time-honoured processes. Based in Cannes in the French Riviera, Charvin's long history began in 1830 and their products have been a standard for quality ever since. The colour makers at Charvin slowly and expertly produce paints much in the same way that wine makers produce wine, ensuring their products have a true character and lovely finish. It is this dedication to detail and hands-on approach that make these oil colours one of the world's greatest art supply treasures.
